The wife of Pastor Paul Ekwe, Evangelist Chinwe Ekwe has said her husband is a chronic womanizer.
The 49 year-old estranged woman said this in court. She added that her husband, Pastor Ekwe, sleeps with women, both married and single.
“My husband is a womaniser, he sleeps with church members,’’ Chinwe Ekwe told an Igando Customary Court on Monday in Lagos.
Chinwe spoke on the sexual escapades of her husband, while responding to a divorce suit filed by him.
Ekwe claimed in his suit that his wife of 28 years was planning to kill him, Chinwe however debunked the claim.
Chinwe said that her husband was defaming her by telling people that she was planning to kill him.
“What do I stand to gain if I kill the father of my seven children; he is lying against me just because he wanted to marry another woman which he had done.
“My husband is uncaring, I shouldered all his responsibilities but he spends money and buys foodstuffs for his concubines,’’ Chinwe told the court.
“I care for him both physically and spiritually, but he chose to be flirting around with different women.
“He even brought a married woman home as wife and chased me out of our matrimonial home,’’ she said.
The mother of seven daughters said that her husband got the police to arrest her, alleging that she destroyed his church and stole his five million naira.
She begged the court not to grant her husband’s wish for the dissolution of their marriage, pointing out that she still loved him in spite of his adulterous acts.
However, Ekwe wanted the court to terminate the 28-year-old marriage.
“My wife is planning to kill me so that she can remarry,” he said.
Pastor Ekwe also described his wife as stubborn and quarrelsome.
“Our marriage is full of fights and quarrels. Chinwe makes my home uncomfortable for me and my life unbearable.
“She refused to obey my orders but does things in her own way,” he said.
He accused her of turning all their children against him, alleging that she gave one out in marriage without his knowledge.
Pastor Ekwe pleaded with the court to dissolve their marriage, adding that the love he once had for his wife had evaporated
